So far, Lane has produced the second-highest tropical cyclone-related rainfall on record in Hawaii. Lane has produced the most tropical cyclone-related rain since Paul in November 2000, nearly 18 years ago.

Lane has dumped torrential rainfall on the Big Island and Maui over the past 48 hours. Some of these extreme precipitation totals over the time period include:

Lane is still producing torrential rainfall on the Big Island Saturday morning. Several evacuations and water rescues are being reported in Hilo. Landslides have also been a huge problem as a result of the rain.

Lane is forecast to remain on its westward track. As the storm continues to encounter wind shear, it will weaken and become more disorganized, eventually losing its tropical cyclone characteristics.

More rainfall is on the way for Hawaii, Maui and Oahu.

However, as Lane weakens and slides off to the west, more rounds of heavy rain will develop behind it through the early part of next week. An additional 10 to 20 inches of rain are expected for Hawaii through Monday, while rainfall rates could reach 3 inches per hour at times this weekend. Saturated soil and flooded land, along with gusty winds, could easily lead to additional downed trees and power lines.

Also, Lane will produce large waves and isolated tornadoes through the weekend.
